University Collaboration Lecture <Shigakkan University>: Festivals of Aichi

About this event

The university collaboration course "Festivals of Aichi" with Shigakkan University explores the role of communities involved in the preservation and transmission of the diverse festivals concentrated in Aichi Prefecture. The course explores the appeal of the "Domannaka Matsuri" that enlivens Nagoya in the summer, while also examining the relationship between Aichi's manufacturing culture and its festivals. Through expert commentary, this is an opportunity to deeply understand how Aichi's history and technology live on in festivals, from karakuri mechanized puppets to modern robotics technology. Across the three consecutive sessions of the course, participants will learn from multiple perspectives about the impact festivals have on local society and culture.
